02:33 - VIGJust sayin' I remember nikarg's Sodom review on the front page, that album was like 30 years old

02:27 - ScreamingSteelUSTechnically, Che's Manunkind review was too old to be featured on the front page. That was a special exception; usually, we prefer to keep our reviews within three-to-four months, with six months as an absolute cutoff.

02:14 - VIG@Radu Of course! I don't think it's too old to be featured on the front page. Look at Che's Manunkind review

00:09 - RaduPPublished a review for an album that's a bit too old to be featured on the front page, but you guys will read it, right? [link]

Written by Savopipo on 20.04.2012 at 08:23The question is if "proper" is a good thing in black metal. I respect of course that people think that (and evolution will of course in the long run take the best parts of black metal and incorporate them in as a part in something else) but imo "proper" is a bit of a turn off where black metal is concerned. As a side note I must say that to me punk has nothing to do with the USA (no offense intended).

Are you one of those people who claim that everything forward-thinking in black metal is "hipster" and "untrue"?

No not at all, quite the opposite. I believe black metal must progress otherwise it will only be a sad and depressing thing from the past. But I do believe that it's possible to progress while maintaining some of that "over the top" feeling that was the mark of the pioneers.
